scram Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Again- Hull theatre is not West End- it is more amateur theatre Nigel- in comparison its like watching a conference side- so some might say you got ripped off. And neither is a division 2 football match the pinnacle of sporting excellence either Id say provincial theatre is very much the "2nd division" of theatre A bit like our game against Bristol City then And the other obvious thing is that people don't support the theatre like fans follow football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Turpin Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Again- Hull theatre is not West End- it is more amateur theatre Nigel- in comparison its like watching a conference side- so some might say you got ripped off. Hull is perfectly respectable nowhere near Conference. Not the West End but Wednesday v Bristol City is way off Premier League. So let's forget theatre and food. Darts - are you talking about the best players in the world or the darting equivalent of Stevie May? BTW what's a unique restaurant like and how does that compare with 2nd division football? It's a dear do. You think it's justifiable - tha must have more money than sense thee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scram, I find your posts insightful and interesting generally. However a family of four to watch a live football match with huge investment for £120 is not too bad. It is also better priced for regular attendee's with memberships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick_Turpin Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 This is exactly the stupid comment i have come to expect from you. You knew I meant a decent meal out something families do maybe once or twice a year. Yeah you maybe looking out for other fellow wednesday fans. At the end of this Chansiri has reduced prices for families if they attend an average amount of home games around 8 a year. They are decent prices and now are very comparable with other teams in championship. £120 for first game of the season is a 'one off' and families that do not attend regular will miss this one in favour of a cheaper match. 'live' entertainment Nigel. Also I am quoting U17. Not Under 2. So please get facts right before you criticise Basically chum there are many, many fans like me and others on here who have been going to watch Wednesday for years and supported the club through thin and thick and much thinner who are appalled by what they've done. We don't hate Wednesday or going to matches. We love the club and have shelled out thousands of pounds over the years to demonstrate that. And yet good loyal fans like us are outraged by what's happened. Do you see no validity in our objections? Do you not think the club could have acted in a much more considered and thoughtful way?

poite Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 No its £94, not bad for a family of four day out that You do realise that the game lasts 90mins don't you. Hardly a day out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also spent a lot of money- my travel still costs more than this ticket. I understand people cant always afford to go- like me. What Im saying is CAT B will be a rare match and we will be looking at games that are £3-£5 more expensive than last year most of the time. This is no that much considering the improvements. You do not stay in a 3 star hotel and pay £50 and expect it to be the same price when they upgrade it. It is business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People keep justifying out tickets for each match based on one-off events.

CAT C/D/E/F/G :) So now our West End theatre chum is dissing the Crucible, one of the country's foremost provincial theatres. Amateur is it?

Handball_!! Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 So I return from holiday to this shambles. to sit in the same block as last season for 1st game I shelled out £31 I think. and am faced this season with either shelling out £46 (~ 50%) more. Or shelling out £30 to become a member and get a ticket for £41 - total of £71. And if I decide to take my 20 yr old son it's doubled up to £92 or £142. Nice post holiday hit is that. Well done the club my backside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't do that as it's not a fair comparison People are saying as a 'one off' for Bristol game- see earlier posts. I am saying that Chansiri has reduced it significantly for this fixture providing they buy a membership- It should/could be even cheaper for a family of four for lesser categories. Football is not a one off but they cannot only charge £5 per person just because it is fortnightly either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if there was four tickets its still £100 (as you would agree - not cheap)- our tickets are cheaper with memberships now.
